Overview
- IESE’s Cities in Motion 2025 ranks Lima 150 out of 183 with a global score of 28.6, down from 144 last year.
- Lima places 176 in Mobility and Transport, reflecting gridlock in a metropolis served by only one metro line and a limited BRT for more than ten million residents.
- Technology, Economy, Environment and Urban Planning also underperform, with ranks of 162, 167, 140 and 155 tied to digital gaps, informality, pollution and disordered growth.
- Jaime Graña Belmont of the Peruvian Automotive Association cites chronic congestion and insufficient public transit as key drivers of the poor mobility outcome.
- Santiago de Chile ranks 89, benefiting from an extensive metro and progress toward electromobility, while experts in Peru urge fleet renewal, stronger inspections and investment in cleaner, expanded public transport.
